To put it briefly, Sephonie is a miracle. It swings between life and death, classic genre convention and thoughtful subversion, the mind-bendingly global and the heartbreakingly personal. It holds its own against giants of science fiction by refusing to be pinned down, floating between genre and tone with the unknowable elegance of flight.

Like the island it’s set on, every part of Sephonie works in concert for the good of the whole, making it one of the most profoundly moving games I’ve ever played. 10/10 Sephonie is out now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Linux, and Mac.

This game has fun platforming, relaxing puzzles, and a great story that asks big questions with down-to-earth protagonists. Sephonie manages to juggle three strong cores to individual games and bind them together (if a bit loosely) to make a satisfying experience that pulls you in – it has definitely won me over after my time with it. After playing Sephonie, I’m definitely interested in playing the other games in Analgesic’s library to see if I can get another experience like it.

When Sephonie is on, it’s on. There’s definitely something to chew on here, and if you can get your teeth around it you might have a great experience with the game. The biggest issue with the game is how inconsistent it feels in all respects, and that even comes down to the technical aspects of this Switch port. You’re going to have to be able to put up with some rough edges to get at the good points of Sephonie, but if you’re in a forgiving mood and feel like playing something that is for better or worse different, you might want to give it a go. SwitchArcade Score: 3.5/5 Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons ($24.99) I think I wanted to like this game more than I did.

Sephonie is a narrative-focused action platformer that follows three scientists on their journey to a somewhat living island named Sephonie. Along the way, they discover unique areas to traverse, interesting creatures, and more about themselves and their history. I was excited to get into this game, as I played and enjoyed Anodyne 2 last year, a game from the same developers. Did Sephonie make its way into my heart? Find out in this Rapid Review. The first component of Sephonie that stood out was that the story revolved around three different researchers.
